Those Griefs whose Cure you say depends on me What have I done that you should use me so Dem. Ah Madam sure you my Transgression know Or your Resentments could not be so High As by such Cruel Words to make me Dye Which now I humbly begg your leave to doe Since twice you say I was unkind to you But for those Words I never could have thought That my Misfortune did Transcend my Fault I must Despair your Pardon now to win My Grief for needing it being judg'd my Sin Stra. You never my Resentments did provoke But by your Silence and what now you spoke Dem. Would to the Gods I never had then I Should but Unhappy and not Guilty Dye But I alas must by a Fatall Oath Ending my Life contract the Guilt of both This is my Fate whatever I shall doe Stra. I feare your Sorrows have Distracted you Dem. A las Distraction Madam would appear A Happiness compar'd to what I bear For though the Joys I in your Love Recieve Transcend all those which Heaven to me can give Yet I those Charming Glories must foregoe And to my self the Sin thereof must owe. Stra. Demetrius I believ'd you had a Soul Which could th' approaches of Despair controul Dem Condemn not Madam the Despair I show Since Tryphon is Declar'd my Rivall now Stra. Since this is the Misfortune you deplore I have more cause to Blame you then before For could you Grieve at this did you not fear I would his Crown above your Love preferr By your first Fault you did but wrong my Love But this a wrong does to my Vertue prove Alas what two worse Actions could you doe Then thus to doubt my Love and Vertue too Dem. Ah Madam if you would have heard me out You would have ●…ound that I do neither doubt For Nothing can to either equall be But that Misfortune which has fall'n on me When I thus grieve he does my Rivall prove I feare his Cruelty not doubt your Love But though his Fire for you I must Lament Yet Fate on you a sharper Curse has sent For he not knowing I his Rivall am Imployes me to acquaint yon with his Flame To court you for him I am hither sent And he his Rival makes his Confident Str. He has more cause to mourn for this then you Dem. Yet to a Trust Fidelity is due That Man who can be faithless to his Friend Though 't is in Love deserves to lose his End Could I but one Unworthy Action do I should by it forfeit my Right in you And though you might to Pardon me think fit Yet to my self I ne're could Pardon it Stra. Heaven this strict Virtue does in you Inspire Which therefore I Condemn not but Admire Then with what you did Promise him Comply But what you ask for Him I 'le still Deny Thus you to Friendship 's Duty Just may prove And I as Faithfull to the Rights of Love Dem. Oh gods What is Demetrius's Offence That you to him so strange a Fate dispence Your Fiercest Anger could not plague him worse Then thus to turn his Blessings to his Curse Your Love and Vertu●… which should give Releif But more contributes to Augment my Grief Yes Madam your Inconstancy and Hate Had been to me a less Tormenting Fate Less Horror I had felt from Deaths Assault Caus'd by my Mistress Justice then my Fault I 'me as Unfortunate as you are Fair. Stra. Alas what causes in you this Despair Since I have let you know how you might be Just to your Vowes to Tryphon and to Me. Dem. 'T is more then all the World has Pow'r to doe I must be False to Him or False to You For not believing he Ador'd your Eyes I swore a solemn Oath I would despise His Conquerors Charmes to serve him thus you see I must Forsake you or must Perjur'd be I know which of the two I ought to doe 'T is less to loose then be unfit for you Heaven which your Merits and my Faults has known Calls me to Death you to the Syrian Throne Death is to my Ambitious Passion due Which from the Throne can only hinder you My Fate I therefore shall Undaunted bear Since 't is my Ruine helps to raise you there Stra. Could I of what you now propose admit I of that Throne should judge my self Unfit Tryphon to gain it has acquir'd such Hate As 't is scarce strong enough to bear his Weight And to his Guilt if I should add my own 'T would be a Certain Way to sinke the Throne Dem. If with his Pow'r your Virtue you doe mix Madam the Throne you would not Sink but Fix Then what he offers you vouchsafe to take Both for your own and for your Countries sake Stra. My Country will deserve those Chaines shee 's in Could she consent to Break them by my Sin Dem. Your Country cannot charge them with a crime Since Madam I Resign you up to Him Stra. Resign me up to him Ah you shall find That I to Tryphon will not be Resign'd Now you Pretend to more then you can Do For you 'd Forsake me and Bestow me too You may if you think fit your Love Resign But I Demetrius ne're can alter mine Dem Ah the more Kindness you to me Express You still to it Intitle me the less Stra. I see 't was clearly what you told me now And mourn your Sin more then the Losing you Yet I by Scorning Tryphon will make known I Value you more then the Syrian Throne If to your Guilt I so Oblieging prove Ah judge what I 'de have been unto your Love Farewell you are the first the World e're knew Who Lov'd his Mistress and Forsook her too Stratonice and Irene go out Demetrius gazing after them Dem. Thus when the Sun from us withdraws his Light He leaves the World to Horror and to Night Why to the Throne did Heaven let Tryphon climb And then Revenge on me my Truth to him Prodigious is my Fate my Death I find In Friendships being True and Beauty Kind Oh Gods to what must I hereafter Trust Since you Destroy me but for being Just If you for Virtue onely will Admit Why am I Ruin'd for pursuing it He goes out Cleopatra and Hermione Cleopatra holding Tryphon's letter in her hand The SCENE the Garden of Nicano●…'s 〈◊〉 Cleo. To Court and gain my leave his Queen to be And after dare thus to Abandon me Th' Affront which he therein on me would lay Can only by his Blood be wash'd away Her Why should his leaving you your Anger move Since now you may Accept Aretus Love That Fatal Promise which eclips'd your Joy Tryphon's Inconstancy does now Destroy Cleo. I should Aretus Flame too much Abuse If I gave him what Tryphon does Refuse Her Sure Madam if you argue at this rate To lose Aretus is your Choice not Fate Enter Aretus Ar. Madam I bring before your Justice now One who has been so Criminal to you As he no

The Tyrant with himself has been at strife To make his Death as Guilty as his Life Dem. 'T was ●…ust this Execution he should doe That as he wrong'd us he may right us too Are.

His thirst of Humane Blood so great was growne As he rather then spare it spilt his owne One of the Guard leads in Arcas bound Guard Arcas confesses 't was he cry'd they come Arc.

This sight at once my Joy and Grief does raise S●…ra 'T is an ignoble Triumph thus to gaze Sir let his Body be from hence convey'd He by his Death for all his Crimes has paid Sel. Since by the Justice done by Tryphons Hand The Throne of Syria does now empty stand And since the Tyrant to confirm his sway The Royall Line at once did make away Princes 't were 〈◊〉 we instantly agreed Who is the Worthiest Person to succeed And since his Merit only can pretend I judge Nica●… should the Throne ascend Dem.

'T was a high Proof that he your Virtue knew Since whil'st he Wrong'd you he did trust you too Nic. Out of my House but still within my Care You by the Gods till now protected were Under the name of Le●…'s son you went The Prince by whom you first to me were sent Who when your Father and the King was kill'd O'recome by Greif his Life to Death did yeild In reading this short Letter Sir you 'll know Why what you are till now I durst not show He gives Aretus a Letter Aretus reads Antiochus to Nicanor SInce Heaven this Ruine throwes on us I trust you with Antiochus Let him by you with Care be bred But till you see the Tyrant dead Oh I conjure you grant me this Let not himself know who he is Th' Affront my Father cast on you forgive And let me still in your Remembrance live ANTIOCHUS Aretus gives the Letter to Demetrius and Seleucus Sel.

Though a lost Crown the Gods to me restore Two things there are which yet I value more Oh would to Heaven Seleucus that I knew How to be just both to my Love and you Sel.

Ah what you call your Merit is your Crime Since perfect Love in Justice must excel Falshood and her together cannot dwell King That perfect Love is just I grant is true And I prove mine is Just in Loving you Your Eyes which act the Change you so abhor Are my security I 'le change no more Since to the highest Beauty I pretend Blame not if by Degrees I reach that end And as my Love that blessing does pursue So now I find it onely shines in you Enter Alizia and Sevina Aliz.

That Fatal Skreik must cut off our debate For my best speed I fear will come too late She breaks from the King and goes out hastily King She 's gone and left me in a deeper Grief Then her's to whom she flies to give Relief She does her Hatred to my Love prefer To me she 's Cruel but she 's Kind to her 'T is Fortune onely or resistless Fate Which governs all the World in Love and Hate The King stands musing a while Valeria's Brother thinking him gone comes from behind the Bed The King lifts up his eyes sees him and starts back Valeria's Brother runs into the Bed again King A Man and here and at this time of night How quickly did He vanish from my sight Does she a Visitant like this admit Though my bad Angel 't were I 'le speak to it The King draws his Sword and goes towards the Bed Who art thou and what is it brought thee here The King plucks Valeria's Brother out of the Bed who trembles but answers not His Tongue is ty'd by Guiltiness or Fear Prepare for Death or else resolve my Doubt He 's silent still what Ho who wai●…s without Enter two Courtiers running Since my Commands thy silence cannot break I 'le find ou●… Tortures which shall make thee speak Seize on this Mute and with him follow me They seize on Valeria's Brother Why should the Thrones of Kings so envy'd be When such strange Griefs assault me in one hour As make my Sorrows greater than my Pow'r Exeunt The End of the Fourth Act. THE FIFTH ACT. Enter King Edward and Lord Latymer King I Have in short told you my cause of Grief Which is as Just as 't is above Relief Ah! to forsake one in whose heart I Reign'd To Court another who my Flames disdain'd And such a Lovely Youth thus hid by her Are loads too heavy for my Soul to bear Lat. Though Sir the Fair Plantagenet may be Too justly blam'd for one Inconstancy Yet in all else her Vertue such hath been As to suspect it Sir would turn a Sin King Oh she who could for Kent my Son forgo What is it after which she might not do She must have given that Love for which she prest Were not her Heart by other Fires possest I 'le not defame her since she bears my name But she for ever has supprest my Flame Enter Sevina hastily Sev. If with your Love Sir for Alizia You have not thrown your Pity too away Be pleas'd to see where She Despairing lies And with your Hand vouchsafe to close her Eyes King Madam what is 't which her Dispair does move Sev. Oh ask not that when she has lost your Love She did a while that Misery suspect But when the certainty she did detect She had but that our strength was her Relief By one dire blow ended her Life and Grief When from her Hand the Weapon we did wrest Su●…h storms of Sighs did crow'd out of her Brest And from her Eyes such streams of Tears did flow As we repented that we stop'd the blow For sure the loss of Life is a less Ill Then that Despair which does possess her still But though we did one sort of Death prevent Yet she on dying Sir is so intent
to pardon and make blest your Friend But if your Being to your Love you tye Then there 's no doubt Demetrius Sir must Dye Try But if my Love while guiltless was deny'd I doubt when in her Lovers Blood t is dy'd That Cruelty may more her Hatred move Sel. Yet 't is a Crue●…y produc'd by Love When by your Pow'r you make her be your Wife And when your Mercy spares her Fathers Life Both those joyn'd with the Charming Name of Queen Over her Hate the Victory may win But if when she 's you Wife her Hate endures The Trouble Sir will be more hers then yours Try But since when but to fright her I did say That I Nicanor's Life would take away She told me to her Death she too would fly I feare if I should make her Lover Dye She in dispair to her own Death would run Sel. Killing one's self is sooner said then done But if to him that Proof of Love shee 'd give Think not shee 'l marry you while he does live Try Ha! what thou say'st admits of noe reply And does on Love bestow the Victory Those Words have torn Demetrius from my Mind And for his Death the Orders they have sign'd He and Aretus instantly shall Dye Prepare the Guards with speed and secrecy Thy Care of me has made me judge it fitt To thee this Execution to commit They goe out severall wayes The SCENE of Nicanor's Pallace opens Nicanor Aretus Demetrius Cleopatra and Stratonice both weeping Stra. Yes Sir I scorn'd his Love and Anger too Till he with speedy Death did threaten you My Constancy he then did more than fright Yet I conceal'd my Terrors from his fight But Sir my Eyes as soon as he was goue Wept as my Heart while he was here had done For if to morrow night I 'm not his Wife He has declar'd hee 'll take away your Life Nic. I 'l rather to his Rage submit my Head Than yield that you should such a Tyrant wed I 'l sooner Die then I 'l that Union see Such Hate I have for him such Love for thee Are. to Cleo. From your Fair eyes those Tears you ought to wipe This Crime for Heavens Revenge makes Tryphon ripe So ripe that through his Guards along I 'l goe To pay that Death which to his Guilt we owe The Danger does less then the Duty seem I 'l dry your Tears or strive to merit them Dem. to Stra. I thought by Loue he would your heart have won And therefore I did yield to be undone But since to this vile way he hath recourse 'T is just to end such Tyranny by Force I 'l now with much less Gr●…f his Death pursue Then I resign'd to him my claim to you Ar. Since we to kill the Tyrant are agreed I see the Gods his Ruine have decreed Nic. Though that is just which is designed by you Yet Just things we should doe as Wise men doe Seleucus who th' Usurpers Guards commands When this new Tyranny he understands To join with us I hope may soon be won Cleo. I dare assure you 't is already done Nic. Already done by whom Cleo. t is done by me His Hate to Tryphon and his Tyranny Is such as I am sure in this Designe He will with you when you desire it joyn Are.

I Merit Death because I kill'd him not Seleu. Demetrius too the like hard Fate must prove He does not only Rival Tryphon's Love But knew Aretus did his Death intend And yet Conceal'd it to preserve his Friend Deme. Perfidious man the Tyrant could not be Told that he was my Rival but by thee Seleu. Madam the King in hope that you 'l receive His Love does yet Nicanor's Life reprieve Nica. Since these two generous Friends are doom'd to Die Sparing of me is but his Cruelty Stra. Who would the loss of so much Wor●…h survive Or by A Tyrant's Mercy who would Live Death is then either Welcomer to me Seleu. to Cleo. Here Prostrate Madam at your Feet you see One who long since has paid to you his Heart And who by Love is forc'd to act this part For when I came to tell you of the Fire Which your Bright Eyes did in my Soul inspire And that it might more acceptable be Did offer to revenge your injury You e'r I could make you my great Request Told me Aretus Raign'd within your Breast Ah! When I found that he was Monarch there I did Compell'd by Love and by Dispair Discover all to Tryphon with Design Helping his Love to make him further mine This Madam you may Look on as my Sin But what you think my Guilt I Glory in For what more fully could my Passion prove Then sacrificing of my Friends to Love Aro Since Love makes no man Cruel or Unjust That which thou call'st thy Love is but thy Lust. Cleo. Seleucus I have Listned unto you At once with Horror and with Pitty too Horror that you this Falshood could Commit Pitty that Love seduc'd you into it Ah! to my Love what wrong could be so high As thinking 't would be woon by Treachery No No though my affection for you were Such as for me you would have yours appear Yet Honor which of all things most I rate Would by this Falshood turn that Love to Hare And could I be obtain'd by what you doe That Crime would soon worke the like Change in you Oh doe not think that Love can ere be built On such a false foundation as your Guilt Seleu. In my sad loss what could I else have done To me you 'r lost or this way must be wonne Cleo. This way be Won Oh
